Walking tour in Bamberg
Saturday morning we arrived in Bamberg, perhaps the most scenic town along the Main, filled with beautiful baroque architecture. Our welfare officer, Greg, has done a fantastic job of preparing walking tours and acting as our guide in each place we stop, and Bamberg did not disappoint!
Lunch with Rauchbier
We had a lovely crew lunch where we all got to try a local beer called Rauchbier from the brewery Arch Schlenferla. It’s made from barley dried over an open flame which gives it its smoky flavour. The general verdict from the crew was that it tastes of bacon and is reminiscent of the smell of the tar used to coat the ship, so the beer was fondly nicknamed ‘boat soup’.
